When You Decide Not to Report a Rape Because You Agree With Your Rapist's Politics, Congratulations, You Are Now Officially a Cultist

My own deeply felt schadenfreude aside, why shouldn't Platner dig in?

Micky Kaus pointed out that Platner "has the leverage. All he has to do to screw the Dem party is... nothing." And my RedState colleague Bonchie described the Left's "nuclear levels of cope" over their rapey Nazi: "He's a mentally disturbed do-nothing who works for his mom. He doesn't care about the party. Why would he? And there is no mechanism to forcibly remove him."

...

Make no mistake. Democrats are the whores in the Platner story, willing to overlook a Nazi tattoo, anger management issues, credible rape allegations, public airing of sex fetishes, admissions to joining the military just so he could kill people, and more. All because they thought they finally had a workingman candidate who could beat Collins.

Now Platner is haggling over the price of his withdrawal, and he has until Sunday night to bleed his party nearly dry.

I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no.

She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically.

This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room.

We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward."

If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group.

I hate cults. I hate them a lot.

They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible.

What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore.

At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum.

That's a spectacularly bad trade.

At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.

Platner is still holding on.

Ed Morrissey writes that Maine Democrats are wondering who foisted this Nazi Communist Rapist on the Democrat Party.

Platner and his team are using their leverage to force the Maine Democratic Party to allow him to hand-pick his successor, as the New York Post reported yesterday based on anonymous sourcing.

The Maine Democratic Party confirmed it last night in a video statement from its executive director. In a declaration drenched in irony, Devon Murphy-Anderson pledged "integrity" in the process to dump the violent Nazi-tatted Kik creeper its voters elected. She then huffed about how Platner was forcing himself on the party's processes, apparently clueless to the parallels that created the crisis:

She added: "The integrity of this process is just as important as the outcome, and we are committed to ensuring that Democrats across our state can have confidence in both."

As Murphy-Anderson went on, she accused Platner's team of "repeatedly" reaching out to them "in an attempt to put their thumb on the scale" to influence what the process looks like.

"We have repeatedly reiterated to Graham Platner's team that they have no role in determining our next Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, nor in determining what this process looks like," she noted. "We have also reiterated that Graham Platner must drop out of this race so that Democrats in Maine can focus on defeating Susan Collins this November."

Platner, forcing himself on unwilling partners? Gee, what a shock!

Unfortunately for Maine Democrats, Platner has all the leverage in this situation, as I explained yesterday and David will discuss next. Maine does not allow a political party to remove a nominee once he or she has won the primary. The only way that Murphy-Anderson and her organization can have a "process," let alone one with "integrity," is for Platner to voluntarily withdraw before the July 13 deadline. Maine Democrats had months to get Platner out of the primary after the news of his Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo went public in October, along with his posts on Reddit and other platforms suggesting that women bore responsibility for being raped.

Why does the Nazi Communist we elected to be our candidate knowing he was a Nazi Communist believe he has any power to determine who the candidate is?! Who's responsible for electing this Nazi Communist?!

Democrats are doing everything to find out who drove this Hot Dog Car through the window!

Plan A was to elect a Nazi communist. That Plan is failing.

Plan B, which was to force out Platner in favor of a Communist to be Named Later, is also failing.

So Democrats are switching to Plan C: Cover up for Platner, defend him, and just put the rapist Nazi in the Senate.

That's just Plan A again, but Plan A has a stink on it.

Fetterman: Why does Bernie Sanders keep pushing communist dirtbags?

A: Because all communists are dirtbags and Bernie Sanders is a lifelong communist dirtbag.

The NY Post:

Sen. John Fetterman is not feeling the Bern.

The Pennsylvania Democrat torched socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Monday night for promoting disgraced Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner despite clear signs that he was a "predator."

"I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone," Fetterman told Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" hours after former Platner girlfriend Jenny Racicot claimed that he broke into her home and raped her in 2021.

Fetterman specified that Sanders should "apologize to the victims, especially the woman that -- she claimed that he raped her."

"I don't know why you want to keep pushing these kinds of people," he added of Sanders. "Maybe he should consider [sitting] a few out and stop pushing these kind of communists."

"I know Democrats that have, you know, back-to-back endorsed and got all in on [disgraced former Rep. Eric] Swalwell and were on the Platner train as well, too," Fetterman went on. "So, maybe stop, you know, getting [in] bed with absolute dirt bags, someone like Platner."

Sanders had been among Platner's earliest backers, endorsing him in August of last year, shortly after Platner launched what appeared to be a long shot campaign.

As of Tuesday morning, Sanders had yet to join other Democrats -- including his fellow progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) -- in rescinding his endorsement. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Post.

"I'm sure he's not a saint," Sanders told CNN last month after another former girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, accused Platner of physical abuse.

"He went through some very bloody and horrible situations," Sanders went on. "He has acknowledged that he came back with PTSD. He's had his share of problems."

Lumpy Jack doesn't play.
